Re: Texas Tech hires Texas A&M Offensive Coordinator for head coach

On defense, we're losing a 2 LB's and a DB that were great contributors and possibly Demontre Moore.

Kingsbury did a pretty good job for us, but he's just 3 years removed from being a G.A. at UofH and this past season was his first as an OC. Prior to coming to A&M he was a Co-OC with Jason Phillips who's now at SMU.

TAMU is currently ranked #7 on Rivals with 34 commits. they have 15 4 *. TAMU is currently ranked #1 on Scouts with 2 5* and 15 4*.

I don't think recruiting talent is a problem. how they will develop under Sumlin remains to be seen.

as mentioned before, TAMU is in prime real estate for recruitment. with their instant success in the SEC this season, I expect them to be in the Top 10 in recruiting rankings for awhile.
